[English]

I feel a very cold emptiness inside, my love

When you left, you stole my heart

I went crazy from thinking and thinking

I'll go to hell, but I have to get revenge

...

I feel a very cold emptiness inside, my love

When you left, you stole my heart

I went crazy from thinking and thinking

I'll go to hell, but I have to get revenge

I want to stain the white dress with red

I know God's altar is holy, but, my love

A hundred guests, and they will all have to look

That our love goes beyond

I want us to dance together

In heaven or hell, but without that bastard

The one who has kept you apart from me all this time

To the unconscious that made you not be mine

Dance, an eternal dance

But I'm leaving with you, and we're going together

I've spent three cursed nights unable to sleep

Just thinking and thinking that you are for me (that you are for me)

...

Uh!

And I say goodbye to you forever, little one

There you go to everyone who carries a broken heart

Uh!

And his buddy Oscar Maydon

And Fuerza Regida

Slow walk, my breathing hurts

At a thousand per hour, my heart's beats

In the hallway memories come to me, flashbacks

We promised that both of us would go to the altar

He removed your veil, you accepted and then he kissed you

You have already consummated the sacred vows, my love

A very intense cold took away my entire being

There's no longer any reason to stand

I want us to dance together

In heaven or hell, but without that bastard

The one who has kept you apart from me all this time

To the unconscious that made you not be mine

Dance, an eternal dance

But I'm leaving with you, and we're going together

I've spent three cursed nights unable to sleep

Just thinking and thinking that you were for me

I watch how your eyes shine

I resign myself to losing you, and this time forever

I regretted taking away your happiness

I'll let you go, so you can start a family

I say goodbye, I say goodbye forever

And I wish you luck and bless my death

I dedicate it to the love that never worked

To the person whose heart is broken

...

[Spanish]

Siento un vacío muy frío por dentro, mi amor

Cuando te fuiste, te robaste mi corazón

Me quedé loco de tanto pensar y pensar

Me iré al infierno, pero me tengo que vengar

Siento un vacío muy frío por dentro, mi amor

Cuando te fuiste, te robaste mi corazón

Me quedé loco de tanto pensar y pensar

Me iré al infierno, pero me tengo que vengar

Quiero manchar el vestido blanco de rojo

Sé que el altar de Dios es santo, pero, mi amor

Cien invitados, y todos tendrán que mirar

Que nuestro amor va al más allá

Quiero que bailemos juntos

En el cielo o el infierno, pero sin ese puto

El que te ha apartado todo este tiempo de mí

Al inconsciente que hizo que no fueras pa mí

Danza, una danza eterna

Pero me voy contigo, pero nos vamos juntos

Llevo tres noches malditas sin poder dormir

Solo pensando y pensando que eres para mí (que eres para mí)

¡Uh!

Y me despido de ti para siempre, chiquitita

Ahí le va pa todos los que traen el corazón roto

¡Uh!

Y su compa Oscar Maydon

Y Fuerza Regida

Camino lento, me duele la respiración

A mil por hora, latidos de mi corazón

En el pasillo me vienen recuerdos, flashbacks

Prometimos que los dos iríamos al altar

Te quitó el velo, aceptaste y luego te besó

Ya has consumado los votos sagrados, mi amor

Un frío muy intenso se llevó todo mi ser

Ya no hay razón pa estar de pie

Quiero que bailemos juntos

En el cielo o el infierno, pero sin ese puto

Al que te ha apartado todo este tiempo de mí

Al inconsciente que hizo que no fueras pa mí

Danza, una danza eterna

Pero me voy contigo, pero nos vamos juntos

Llevo tres noches malditas sin poder dormir

Solo pensando y pensando que eras para mí

Miro cómo brillan tus ojos

Me resigno a perderte, y esta vez para siempre

Me arrepentí de quitarte tu felicidad

Te dejaré, una familia puedas comenzar

Me despido, me despido pa siempre

Y te deseo suerte y bendigo mi muerte

Se la dedico al amor que nunca funcionó

A la persona que roto tiene el corazón
